, Elactric Liahta And Cement Side WAlle. .
The peopJe of Broken Bow at
the Citizens' Caucu showed a
spirit of enterprise that is in
keeping with the progressive age
in which they li\'c , bj' passing
resolutions requesting that the
city counciJ put in electric lights
and that all walks laid hereafter
( where practical ) be made of cement -
ment and the board walks in front
of business houses be r.emoved
and cement walks be substitutcd.
, A compliance with these resolutions -
lutions will require some extra
expense that some will doubtJess
regard as a hardship , but cheaper -
er for them in the long run. It
is a matter that is sure to comc
sooner or later anel if Brokcn Bow
I is te , keep pace with hcr sistcr
towns of the samc size in the
state it is time to get a movc on
ourselves.
TJle day is not far distant
when Broken Bow will be a railroad -
road center with no less than
thr e railroads entering our bor.
dl'rs and is destincd to be enc of
the best towns in the state.
Property owners need have no
fears of the future , for any substantial -
stantial improvements they may
'make. Bcsides that all our prop'
erty well improvrd , streets , lawns
and buildings kept in order with
permanent walks of cement , stone
or brick , will alone pnhalice the
value of our property more than
. . the cost , whether we ever
get any more railroads.
In many respects the past
twenty-five years might bc called
the "patent medicine period. "
Through ad vertising and push
these preparations have beet1
forged to the front , and the sales
have reached fabulous figures.
In many cases merit has bcen a
strong element in the success , but
this very fact has brough t many
preparations on the market which
did the physical system more
good in leaving alone than in
taking. Some of these latter
will probably be weedad. out in
the present campaign against
proprietary medicines , and those
with merit-whose proprietors
comply with the laws-will sur-
vive.

No one will denj' but that it i
duty to ferret out crime , graft
and corruption gener'ally , but
really , it sometunes seems that
A ericanJi have gone cra y on
investigation-so out of their
heads th t all the good to be
found is'erlooked and emphasis
'is put on . technicalities of error
of a minor nature. Neither the
individual' the country can
secure the ma imum of good or of
enjoyment by taking such a
course. It is aJso doubtful if this
excess of suspicion makes the
country really any better in the
end. Get some good from' living
-see some good in your neighbors -
bors and in place of always CrIticizing -
icizing others , make yourself
better than you h'lve here-to-fore
bcen.
St , PAtricl , ' . DAY.
Next Saturday , the 17th day
of March , a number of Broken
Bowites will declc themselves
with green ties or rosettes , " according -
cording , to fancy , just as they
have done on the 17th in the
years gone by , possibly some not
knowing why and perhaps caring
less-siutply because '
it's custom-
ary. Of cours most of them

kuow that Saint Patrick was
horn on the 17th of March and
that he "drove the snakes from
Ireland , " but nine and a half
persons out of every ten you
m i gh t ask could i 11 form you no
further concerning" the gentleman
in whose honor this date is ob-
scrved.
Biographcrs differ considerabJy 1
011 datcs and place in connection
with the birth of Patrick , aside
from March 17th , some cJaiming
that it occurred in the year 387 ,
A. D. , while other biographers
claim years at a variance of from
12 to 14 years from that. It is
gCl1erany accepted , however , that
he was horn , Jiveel anel performed
a wonderful work for thc church.
According to Irish biographers
he founded 365 churches and bap-
tised with his own hands more
than 12,000 persons.
In his Jth year he was talcn
by a band of Iirates ) , with several -
al others , carried to Ircland and
soJd to a petty chief , in whose
service he rcmained Rix years ,
after which he effected his escape -
cape and went to France where
hc bccame a munk. In the year
431 he went to Home where he
was ordaincd by the popc of the
day to preach in Ireland. "HIS
mission was eminently succes ful.
He adopted the expedient of addressing -
dressing himself first to the
chiefs , and improving , as far as
possihle , thc spirit of clanship
and other existing usuages of the
Irish for thc furtherance of his
preaching , nor can it be doubted
that he had much success in
Christianizing the ancient Irish
svstem . of belief and of practice. "
IIc died at a place caIJed Saul ,
at what age is not known , but
stated at from 116 to 126 years.
